A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If a God exists then everything humans "create" is like the meme "I made this, you made this?...I made this". (sh.itjust.works)

What? Most religious dogma is predicated upon free will, meaning we are capable of rearranging things according to our own machinations.

It would be like bacteria in a petri dish reorganising and reproducing, but it's still creation in a sense separated from the creator.

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

But We are not making a pie from scratch, We are making it from basic building blocks of universe.

Also in this meme human and God are equal and this isn't true. Humans are in itself creation of God.

So God provides being and materials for us to create stuff with.
